From being Stevenage sub to being immortalised in a David Squires cartoon, he must be enjoying his 15 minutes of fame right now: https://www.theguardian.com/football/ng-interactive/2023/jan/10/david-squires-on-shocks-and-awe-in-the-fa-cup-third-round

A bit of a Kenny McLean type from the sounds of it?

That’s a proper air puncher of a signing. Makes sense to get him in for the 6 month loan initially and sort out his player-manager contract at the end of the season.

Looks like Reid scored a last minute winner on his Elgin debut. BHH.

Is Hayes lacking fitness or something? Wouldn’t have Coulson on ahead of him otherwise.

Has Tam Courts finished his Kasabian tribute band European Tour?

Touch of the Alan Tates about him based on never having seen him play.

I’d throw in Jack Milne and see if he’s ready yet. Might save us some money in January.

That Tranmere right back seems to have been a done deal for a while now.

Even if he was correct from a tactical point of view (he wasn’t), why would you bring on Morris ahead of Besuijen and Duncan? Ramirez would have offered more than Watkins too but Goodwin obviously still hasn’t proven his male dominance over him just quite yet.

We took off 2 strikers, one of whom is very good at holding up the ball and replaced them with Shayden Morris and someone named after a dog. And we signed a goalkeeper who seems to have been assembled with components from a pinball machine.

Not liking this tactical substitution…

Fantastic defending by our captain there.

What’s Barron doing there for McGregor’s goal? Turning his back on the shot instead of putting himself in the way. Absolute fanny.

I reckon you’d fit a stadium on the Broadford Works site, that could be decent especially if we re-use the red bricks into the design. Plenty of pubs on all sides. Possibility of sticking a rudimentary train platform on the existing track with 100 metres. More footfall for George Street businesses.

The only way you’ll know for sure is to shut yourself off from AFC completely (watching matches, engaging on social media, forums, etc) and see if it makes you happy.

“Pittodrie generates around 400,000 visits every year but the report suggests that bigger and better facilities could bring an additional 350,000 visitors per year for major events alone.” Is the council still not on the hook for knocking down the AECC and building TECA to attract more visitors for major events? Knocking down a beachside stadium, leisure centre and skating rink to build a beachside stadium and “community leisure complex” about 100 metres away doesn’t seem like something that will almost double the amount of visitors, especially if they’re relying on the increase coming from major events which would seriously disrupt the TECA business case. That said, I’m now an Aberdeenshire Council tax payer so let them crack on.

The only positive contribution Ramadani seems to have made so far is talking Miovski into signing for us. Certainly not the midfield enforcer he was heralded as, more a soggy Bisconti.

They could probably get Derek McInnes or Michael O’Neill if they pushed the boat out. Not terribly exciting but they’d get consistent top 6 finishes and cup semi finals which is probably enough for them to include in their honours list.

Probably still for the best, if Potter is going to blood young players like Gilmour into his Chelsea team when he has a blank chequebook available to him, I can’t see him lasting long. And better for Scotland if he gets used to “carrying” an average team rather than being surrounded by world class players. Still not convinced his career won’t take an Oliver Burke style nosedive though.

Hardly seems fair, she kept performing her duties when they died

Minute’s silence at home to the Huns will be interesting

Scott Wright is starting a Champions League group match. Who would’ve saw that coming a couple of years ago?

Last time I checked, Goodwin isn’t my wife, so if that’s the case just be open and direct about it? “He doesn’t fit into my team and as he’s on a big contract it would be best for all parties if we could find him a transfer away” The overwhelming response to that would be “aye ok, fair enough”.
